It's safe to say that Cecelia is enjoying reading May's Chapter 1 Book Club book choice, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. "It's really really good," she said with her facial expression showing just how much.
You may have heard a lot about the story. A movie of the same title, directed by Angelina Jolie was recently on the big screen.
The story is about Louis Silvie "Louie" Zamperini who was born January 26,1917 and died July 2, 2014. A U.S. airman, Zamperini survived when his bomber crashed during WWII. He spent 47 days adrift in the ocean before being rescued by the Japanese Navy. He was held as a prisoner of until the end of the war.
As a young lad, Zamperini was a handful taking to breaking the law and fighting. As a teenager he channeled all that negative energy into running and was quite good at it. Good enough even to get him to the Berlin Olympics.
Louie Zamperini is dubbed "One of America's greatest heroes."
